Danshui Part 5 - Sunset over Fisherman’s Wharf

15 July, 2009Wednesday

From Bali, we caught a direct ferry across to Fisherman's Wharf - on the same coast but further along from our original arrival point near the Danshui pier.

Fisherman's Wharf has a long pier and a harbour with a fishing history though the area is now largely a tourist attraction - especially with an elegant, suspended pedestrian bridge that is a favourite with lovers wanting to catch the sunset.

We timed our arrival perfectly, catching some clear blue skies before dedicating ourselves to some dessert-eating time and then finally witnessing the sun set over the horizon.

The clear atmosphere and strong rays of the sun made it really easy to capture some shots that I was happy with.

With nightfall, the bright lights of the bridge, pier and also the boats, made equally striking photos.
